Do nostrils protect the respiratory system?

Nostrils are mainly what the human race breathes out of, but, other than that purpose, they also help protect it by: Having hairs: the hairs on the inside of your nose (Yes, everybody has them) trap foreign materials. Mucus: the mucus on the inside of your nose also traps foreign materials. This is also why we get allergies. Foreign materials enter and the body's response is to create mucus along the nostrils to protect your respiratory tract further.


Why do you have hairs in your nose?

The tiny hairs in your nose are called "cillia". The function of cillia is to keep insects, dust and other foreign particles from being breathed into your lungs and sinuses.
